pammi Scissorhands I'm starting to feel a bit like this channel is a confection
of a warder channel I seem to have a problem with scissors
hey it's Pam from BenMcFuzzylugs and it's a Wednesday so it must be another
equipment and supplies review every Wednesday I make videos like these for
needle filters and hopefully all crafters to see what's been worth buying
and what's maybe not worth buying so if you like something like this don't
forget give her something films up subscribe and come back every Wednesday
quick reminder I'm not sponsored for any of these videos if I am in the future
then I will let you know if I like the items and I can find them at affordable
price on my Amazon affiliate store I will leave a link in the comments of my
youtube video this doesn't cost you anything at all but it just supports me
a little bit okay so over the years as a needle filter one thing I have really
struggled with is finding scissors that actually cut well on the fabric as a
needle filter I can find it really difficult sometimes to find scissors
that cut right at the tip of the scissors but are also small enough that
they're not unwieldy and considered hairdressing scissors but they're just
too long when I'm making three-inch sculptures now this is a bit bigger of
my dogs and don't shame him they're a bit ugly when they're getting created
but this wolf have been creating is a prime example of why I'm needing some
really good scissors so I'm cutting about two inch sections of cutting them
on and folding them over and the methods I described in the needle felting long
hair tutorial which will hopefully be in the cards somewhere here but I'm needing
to cut hundreds and hundreds of little sections of fur and I was finding with
my normal scissors quite often they wouldn't cut all the
way through they wouldn't cut cleanly or in the in the bits by where it pivots
they were kind of chewing up and not curtains and we were getting bits of
fiber stuck there so I've been looking for decent scissors this is only a small
selection of the scissors that I've purchased over the years things like a
trade large scissors from the crown store but they're a little too unwieldy
for what I'm looking for and they're a bit more handy for me for just cutting
my packaging tape and everything they're good for having around but no good for
giving my small fuzzies a haircut I've tried nail scissors of different
varieties some straight some curved but all the same they don't have that long a
blade and the points where the blade is pivoting tends to get fiber stuck in
them so that's really not any good it can pull the hair and especially in a
smaller dog I want a nice even click and what I found I decided after ordering
tons of ebay going to craft stores getting reasonably priced scissors I
decided to treat myself to these guys these aren't fish curse and they're from
Finland and these are embroidery scissors
I've noticed they also come in slightly larger sizes I believe when I purchased
these these were about 15 pounds but I found some cheaper links which I will
link to below if you're interested in these I will definitely say I've been
really impressed with these you will see them in my pom pom animals and all my
fuzzy dogs I am NOT trimming with these little scissors and these are not gonna
touch paper or anything these these are my fiber scissors now and I totally love
them so let's have a look at them cutting so this is the fiber I've been
using for my wolf that I showed you it's a natural gray fiber I'll leave links
below when I remember what he is it's a long staple length and a lovely soft but
slightly coarser gray with lovely variations of color instead of like the
dyed greys that are all the one solid color and just to give an example of
some of my scissors that I retired attempting to cut I bet you is gonna
work now that I'm trying it and it cuts it's just not as satisfying
and the bigger scissors and as you can see I've cut all the way down but where
the tip is it's just not cutting at all which is absolutely no good on small
sculptures stray the little nail scissors these are super sharp but as
you can see do not cut a straight Lane
other craft scissors that I purchased again it's cut halfway down this is it
but it's not cutting all the way through I really need the tips to snip a better
than this again it's taking two or three passes and I don't know if you can see
but there's more of a jagged edge and so on to the fishes and way they're my
favorite so I'm just taking and it snips all the way right down from the edge to
where the tip of the scissors were and I can also with this it's really good for
fine trimming details I can make any sort of shapes I want and the same with
the pom-poms you need to when you're making the pom-pom animals you need to
be able to trim off really fine amounts and this will just be a struggle with
some of my other scissors as you can see is I'm trying to trim it's pushing the
fiber away it's pushing the wool away and I'm not getting as much off per snip
so this is why I totally recommend these fish care embroidery scissors again I
will leave a link down below if you're interested in them
so what scissors do you use for your needle felting have you tried these ones
yet okay thank you so much for joining me I hope that was helpful if it was
remember thumbs up subscribe and come back every Wednesday and I'll have more
videos like these hopefully for you then thank you very much see you later
